1. A block of mass m1 = 4.50 kg on a frictionless inclined plane of angle 30.0° is connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass m2 = 2.60 kg hanging vertically.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each block?
What is the tension in the cord?
2. A "sun yacht" is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight. Although such a push is tiny in everyday circumstances, it can be large enough tosend the spacecraft outward from the Sun on a cost-free but slow trip. Suppose that the spacecraft has a mass of 700 kg and receives a push of 10 N.
What is the magnitude of the resulting acceleration? .0142857143 m/s^2, got that part
If the craft starts from rest, how far will it travel in 1 day?
How fast will it then be moving?____ m/s
